This survey explores in detail respondents' attitudes
toward abortion. Respondents were asked whether abortions should be
allowed no matter what the reason, if they should be legal, and if
they should be legal in the first three months of pregnancy under a
variety of different circumstances including endangerment of the
woman's life, rape or incest, physical or mental danger to the
mother, possible deformity in the baby, and the family's inability to
afford a child. Other questions focused on recent bombings of
abortion clinics, the effects of legalizing abortion, and the
possible outcomes of banning it. Demographic characteristics also
were recorded.
